SWD and JTAG are popular debugging interfaces for those MCU basing on Cortex-M. But these two interfaces are different in both structure and applications. In this article, we’ll introduce their pins, working principle, Pros and Cons. SWD Interface SWD, Serial Wire Debug, is a protocol designed by ARM for programming and debugging their microcontrollers. It […]
